Baseball Mets Faithful: Cautiously Excited Article written by Marc. A. Spallino, Double G Sports Contributing Writer by Staff Post July 8, 2010 This article was written by Double G Sports contributing writer Marc A. Spallino. With the Mets trailing the Atlanta Braves by only three games in the National League East, the Mets faithful are feeling cautiously excited. The performance of the starting rotation is one reason contributing to the team’s success. Mets ace Johan Santana is historically a second half pitcher but it seems that he has gotten off to an early start this season. Coming off a complete game shutout Tuesday night against the Reds, Santana will have one more start on Sunday July 11th before the All Star break. The Mets Ace will square off with their division rivals the Atlanta Braves. The series could not be more important to the Mets as they look to possibly move up into first place going into the break. One other reason fans are feeling good is due to the Mets consistency. In previous years the Mets were either on fire or down in the dumps. This 2010 season the Mets have proved that they do not need to go on ten game winning streaks in order to be successful. But more importantly, they are winning series. Another confidence booster has been the performance of Angel Pagan and Rubin Tejada. Pagan, who has been filling in for Carlos Beltran in center field, has been just short of brilliant. He is batting .300 with 6 home runs and 30 RBIs. What more can you ask for? Ruben Tejada, who is a shortstop by trade, has been filling in for the injured Louis Castillo at second base and has also performed better than expected. Tejada is batting .221 with an on base percentage of .299. This has surely shocked Mets fans and most likely shocked the Mets coaching staff. Mets fans surely have a lot to be excited about. But can anyone blame them for being cautious? After all, the past couple seasons have been heartbreaking. suprax knee generic ventolin blood pressure pills bupropion zyban sustained-release tablets update Buy Without Prescription vasotec lupus price sominex vs tylenol pm side effects Long term side effects of motrin Buy Without Prescription Generic for plavix 2011 online calan bosch beach pictures price alli rogers always eden lyrics for sale arimidex years treatment Post Views: 1,274 The following two tabs change content below.BioLatest Posts Staff Post Latest posts by Staff Post (see all) In The Zone Announces Initial Podcast Lineup - November 13, 2020 The Essential Resources You Need to Start Your Own Gym in 2020 - February 6, 2020 Wilder vs Fury II – How the second fight will be different to the first? - February 5, 2020 Early turnovers, defensive struggles plague the Scarlet Knights - January 26, 2020 Related TopicsAngel PaganCarlos BeltranJohan SantanaNew York MetsRuben Tejada Click to comment You must be logged in to post a comment Login Leave a Reply Cancel replyYou must be logged in to post a comment.
